A couple of weeks ago Harry made a wonderful dark chocolate and orange marmalade frangipane tart from scratch, which we ate with lots of cream.

This was after a meal of spatchcocked roast chicken, steamed new potatoes with lots of butter, cherry tomatoes roasted with goats cheese and an excellent side of green beans dressed with soft roast garlic, anchovy, shallots and red wine vinegar.

A meal I'm pleased to say I cooked none of for once 😎
